Second Life on the Xbox/PS3/iPhone?

By Eric Reuters

Avatar Dusan Writer finds an interesting snippet of HTML code on search.secondlife.com which reads:

“placeholer page for XBOX, PS3, and iPhone versions of client when they launch next real soon now”

Now, we’re not banking on a Linden Lab-supported rollout of Second Life to game consoles and cell phones just yet. Veteran Second Life watchers may recall numerous incidents in which junior executives at Linden implemented policies the company later backpedaled from. In June, someone deleted allegedly pirate content from Second Life. The company later said content was “inadvertently disabled.” Also last month, Linden issued a “calling all cultures” invitation to its fifth birthday party, only to quickly change its mind.

But still, if this report indicates the way people — or at least some of them — at Linden Lab are thinking, it would be an interesting move for the company. The idea of Second Life on a cell phone has been bandied about for years, and if Second Life could be made to work on a game console it would radically expand Linden’s potential audience.
